Your actions carry far more weight.
Story of the day: Your actions carry far more weight.
“Major Osipovich, an air force pilot for the former USSR, planned to give a talk at his children’s school about peace. He would need time off during the day to give his talk, so he volunteered for night duty. That’s how Major Osipovich found himself patrolling the skies over the eastern regions of the Soviet Union on September 1, 1983–the night Korean Airlines Flight KE007, strayed into Soviet air space.
Soon the Soviet pilot was caught in a series of blunders and misinformation. In the end, Major Osipovich followed orders and shot down the unidentified aircraft. The actions of an air force major preparing to talk about peace plunged 240 passengers to their deaths and sparked an international incident that pushed world powers to a stand-off.
Our talk is important. But our actions carry far more weight.”
Quote of the day: Author Unknown
“Our actions speak louder than words.”
Bible verse of the day: Psalm 143:10
“Teach me to do Your will, for you are my God; Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.”
Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father,
The words that I speak as the story above has said, are important, but carry little weight when it comes to my actions. Father, teach me how to guard my heart, my tongue, and my mind to the things that are only pleasing to You. May I speak when the need arises, and be quiet if I don’t need to talk. Father, I wish to only do Your will and so I ask that You continue to teach me how to, because just as the Psalms say, “You are my God; Your Spirit is good”, and in You I put my trust. I thank You for this day!
In Jesus Name I pray
Amen
